Explaining a gap after caregiving or layoff after 12 years as a store manager

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a store manager. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I have done some volunteering and a course during that time. How did you handle it on your résumé?

A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.
